FreeBayes is the successor to GigaBayes and under active development: http://bioinformatics.bc.edu/marthlab/FreeBayes
Hi,
I need the first published method for Bayesian SNP/genotype calling and a list of all Bayesian SNP callers for next gen sequencing? It would also be hugely beneficial if there is a comparison paper or web site for these methods. Does any one have a handy list like that?
Thank you

Thanks Brad! It's cool that it operates on BAM files. And it seems they've moved to a MIT license
Two i can immediately think of:
BAMBINO: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21278191 https://cgwb.nci.nih.gov/goldenPath/bamview/documentation/index.html
ComB: http://code.google.com/p/comb/. This requires read mapping using PerM and is SOLiD read based.
Gabor's polybayes is the earliest I am aware of, although it is possible that there are earlier work. As to others:

We just released the BSNP Bayesian Genotype caller. It's been tested on Illumina, 454, SOLiD and Sanger human alignments ans has some technology specific bias correction. It requires a samtools pileup as input, but is fully Bayesian, considers both alignment and sequencing quality and doesn't bias towards the reference. If its helpful, have a look at:BSNP/GPhosCS Home Page
